- majewsky 8y ago> unless it's not I think there's one negation too many in there. You're saying that you pay for the plastic bag if it is a perishable product, which sounds backwards.
- mikorym 8y agoIn SA, you pay for any plastic bag that is bought at a supermarket or similar store. If it contains a product which is not perishable (like clothes), then you usually get a different type of paper or plastic bag with it without charge. I think I said this in a funny way, because this slightly differs from store to store—I am not sure whether the regulations are applied uniformly. (Takeaways, for instance.) But yes, if it is perishable, then usually you pay for the bag.
